Note - As far as we know, there is not much in terms of a craft brewery or tap house near the Corinthians Stadium. Your best bet will be to snag a Brahma or Original from the street vendors outside the stadium or wait until you’re inside to imbibe.

There are of course the favorites - an estupida gelada chopp - or, a stupidly cold beer. These chopps are traditionally lighter, pilsner or lager styled beers that you can get much anywhere in the city. There are a few major Brazilian breweries - Brahma, Antarctica Original (my favorite), Skol, Itaipava, and others - that create this style. And, you can typically get it in a ~10 ounce pour for a couple of dollars (anything more is highway robbery).
Think of this chopp beer as your “go-to”. The old stand-by. The friend that never lets you down. Great for beach days, at a churrascaria (BBQ), a lunch beer, and so much more in between.
From an old post on HomeBrewTalk, a poster, erik2113 stated that a Chopp is -
The pour on the chopp is very specific as well to create the head that keeps a barrier between oxygen and the beer which keeps it from turning bad while you drink it.
However, over the past few years, there has been a massive increase in the creation of an expansion of Brazilian Craft Breweries or Cervejarias.
The next step up from a chopp beer would be Eisenbahn, Cerverjaria Colorado, or Black Princess. These two make a few different styles, but are nothing noteworthy. These beers typically run a couple US Dollars at the Oxxo convenient store or at the supermarket. They’re good, but not great.
We’ll move right onto the Craft Beer level - or Cervejas Artesanal - can be about $5 USD to $8 USD depending where you go. The styles can either be a bit underwhelming or ALL-IN. Think of something as polarizing as a Rauchbier - there are some cervejarias that only have a touch of smoked malts or they go all in and it feels like you’ve just ripped a carton of cigs. This hold true across all other styles.
To save you some time, here’s a quick unordered list of some of my favorite craft breweries that I’ve gone to or had at home:
- Trilha Cervejaria (or their Fermentaria)
- Rivas Brewing Company
- Croma Brewing Company (IPAs)
- East Zone Tap Room
If you’re looking for a place to try a BUNCH of different beers, here’s what I’d recommend:
- Emporium Alto Pinheiros (hundreds of beers from across Brazil, South America, and the world)
- La Fraternité
- VKS Beer House
